Cheltenham Gold Cup: Haiti Couleurs aims to go from ‘career-threatening’ injury to superstar

Advertisements

It has been 36 years since Carmarthenshire-based dairy farmer Sirrell Griffiths won the Cheltenham Gold Cup with 100-1 shot Norton’s Coin.

However, Curtis has enjoyed plenty of Cheltenham Festival success since starting her training career in 2008.

Her first winner was in 2012, when Teaforthree won the Amateur Riders Chase, with the horse going on to finish second in the English Grand National the following year.

She sends a strong team to this year’s festival, but all eyes will be on Friday, 13 March at 16:00 GMT, when Haiti Couleurs lines up in the most prestigious race of the week – the Gold Cup.

“I think the race will really suit him,” said Curtis.

“He seems to love Cheltenham, he’s won twice around there already. I just think he’s got everything you need for a Gold Cup.

“He travels strongly, he jumps well, and I do think you need a real stayer for the Gold Cup, three miles and two and a half furlongs, a big hill finish, and go an end-to-end gallop.

“So yeah, we’ll see, I think he’s got all the right credentials for it.”
